Nitrogen in Spyder Tires?

[Revalden]

Has anyone tried using NITROGEN in Spyder tires? I have had NITROGEN in all my vehicles and trailer tires for the last 4 years. it's real nice to not need to hassle with tire pressures on 5th wheel or my flat bed trailer. Just hookup and go. I'm planning on having air sucked out and NITROGEN put in Spyder tires if the damn weather ever warms up enough to ride it.

Big waste of money in my opinion. I have had a lot of RV trailers and motorhomes that came with it. The only advantage is the small 2-3 Lbs. pressure differential between air at temperature variations. Few places to get nitrogen unless you carry a

bottle with you. You should be getting the picture by now.

Sure, I use nitrogen in all my tires. About 78% of what's filling my tires is nitrogen.

:agree:


:roflblack: :roflblack: And it's CHEAP too!! Free as atmospheric Air, isn't it?! :thumbup:

I can't see the need to go the Nitrogen route. Doesn't take but a few seconds to top off a tire if and when needed.

Snake oil.

Despite the naysayers that want to criticize every new, different, or unique idea that they don't agree with, it's just like any other farkle on a Spyder; if you like it and want it, then it's worth the cost. I know my local Tire Barn will fill my tires with nitrogen for minimal cost, and refill them for free. If you like it, I say go for it! :thumbup:

Actually nitrogen is great in winter months I dont have to keep fiddling with tire pressure and they run cooler in summer months when used. May try it again some day

Nitrogen is better, if available use it.

I use nitrogen in all my tires. Even tire pressure and my car dealer in Fargo does it for free. It does not leak out of alu inum wheels. Bigger molecules so you eliminate air seepage.

Nope total waste

Why, please explain?

IMO, using nitrogen in your tires can lull one into thinking one's tires are OK pressure-wise so one gets slack about checking the tires for, among other things, stuff sticking in them. Even though I very seldom have to add air on a weekly basis, at least once a week they get a thorough check as I'm rolling the Spyder to get to the rear tire valve. Think that came from the basic MSF course.

For the fire safety advantage

Bigger molecules in Nitrogen???? I must search that out and it does not leak out of aluminum wheels??? Where did you get this information? Wandering minds want to know.

The only issue that I see with using nitrogen: what if you do need to put more in; and can't find any? :dontknow:
It would seem me, that this would negate any advantage that if offered by it's usage.

But if you like it: go for it! :thumbup:

Thanks for this JC. Everyone should read this information and apply good common sense. (not to mention the money you will save)

Big waste of money in my opinion.

Race cars and airplanes have good reasons for using nitrogen........because it is DRY......and it is the water vapor, mostly, that causes pressure differences with temperature.

Regular air is 70+ percent nitrogen to start with......so all of that marketing hype is just BUNK.
If your tires regularly lose air, you need to get that FIXED and dry nitrogen is NOT the answer.

But there are worse ways to waste your time and money I guess.
